QUESTION: Is it true that the King James translators were nothing but 
          a bunch of Episcopalian baby sprinklers?

ANSWER: No.

EXPLANATION: The company of men who did the translating of the 
Authorized Version was made up of Bible-believing men from both the 
Anglican and Puritan churches. Their character and qualifications have 
been attested earlier.

Such a statement as, "The King James translators were nothing but a 
bunch of Episcopalian baby sprinklers, " is one of those statements 
which is sadly not based on fact nor conviction. It is made with the 
hope of character assassination and an ultimate hope of overthrowing 
the authority of the King James Bible in the minds of believers.

It might be beneficial at this point to note what the King James 
translators were NOT.

They were not adulterers, as David. Nor were they murderers as Moses 
and David. Nor had any of them sacrificed any of their children to 
Chemosh or Molech as Solomon had in I Kings 11. Nor had they 
vehemently denied the Lord as Peter.

These shortcomings are not pointed out to bring disrespect on any of 
the writers of scripture, but are noted so that we should be a little 
more gracious in our description of the men whom God has chosen to 
use.
